Description Need Real Name 2000-11-14 11:39:37 UTC
I tried to upgrade from 6.2 to 7.0 by using the boot.img and a copy on my
HD since the netboot.img does not work !!
First I require GUI for install and get the text version.
When Anaconda starts I get the following error:
JB

This is caused when something is wrong with the hard drive install image. Be
sure you downloaded all the required files in a binary safe fashion.
